Prabhupāda: Why they're fat?
Haṁsadūta: Just eating potatoes and..., and...
Prabhupāda: Meat.
Haṁsadūta: Meat. Pork meat, pig's meat.
Prabhupāda: Very miserable condition.
Haṁsadūta: Oh, yeah.
Prabhupāda: And advertising: Communists are so rich, so happy.
Haṁsadūta: I know, everything..., all their literature concerns itself with struggling. Struggling against capitalists, struggling to...
Prabhupāda: And mass of people, they are very morose, unhappy.
Haṁsadūta: Yes.
Prabhupāda: In the street you will see there is no happiness in their face.
Haṁsadūta: Silent.
Prabhupāda: Hmm. Means terrorism. If they do anything against, then (snaps fingers) finished.
Hari-śauri: Subdued.
Prabhupāda: Very miserable.
Haṁsadūta: All these Communist countries are like that. I was in many of these countries. People are all depressed.
Prabhupāda: There is no taxi. You cannot get taxi on call. And the taxi drivers, they want something more.
Haṁsadūta: Yes, they...
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
Haṁsadūta: They do that.
Prabhupāda: Very bad country, the Communist country.
Haṁsadūta: I was asking this boy that was here a few days ago from South India, from Kerala—he was in Russia. I asked him. "What did you eat there? What did you..., you stayed for one year?"
Prabhupāda: He must be eating meat.
Haṁsadūta: No, he said, "I was able to get frozen vegetables from the south of Russia. They freeze it and then they sell it," he said, "but it is very expensive, very costly." He was getting frozen.
Prabhupāda: That is also nasty. Frozen means nasty. I never take frozen. In the beginning I thought, "Oh, it is very nice. You can get fresh vegetable." But they are not at all fresh.
Haṁsadūta: No.
Prabhupāda: All rotten. Rather the same vegetable, as we have got in India practice, we dry it and keep it. That is tasteful. In season time—suppose this season there is huge quantity of vegetables—so here the system is they cut into pieces during the season and dry it in the sun and keep it. And during out of season it is soaked in water, it revives the old taste, then you can cook. (Hindi or Bengali)
Bhagatjī: Tastes as though it is different. The fresh vegetable the taste is very good.
Prabhupāda: Fresh vegetable must be, but still there is some taste. But this frozen, it has no taste.
